Today's control system designers face an ever-increasing need for speed and accuracy in their system measurements and computations. New design approaches using microcontrollers and DSP are emerging, and designers must understand these new approaches, the tools available, and how best to apply them.

Analog and Digital Circuits for Electronic Control System Applications Using the TI MSP430 Microcontroller covers the latest techniques in microcontroller-based control system design, making use of the popular MSP430 microcontroller from Texas Instruments.

The book covers all the circuits of the system, including:

Sensors and their output signals

Design and application of signal conditioning circuits

A-to-D and D-to-A circuit design

Operation and application of the powerful and popular TI MSP430 microcontroller

Data transmission circuits

System power control circuitry

Written by experienced microcontroller engineer and textbook author Jerry Luecke, the book is lavishly illustrated and includes numerous specific circuit design examples, including a fully tested and documented hands-on project using the MSP430 that makes use of the principles described. For students, engineers, technicians, and hobbyists, this practical text provides the answers you need to design modern control systems quickly and easily.
